Day care business owners to graduate from program
Shreveport Police Dept., Louisiana. June, 2004. Based upon the information released by Public Information Officer. Several Shreveport citizens will be launching their own at-home day care businesses, thanks to a partnership with the Queensborough/Ingleside Weed and Seed and the United Way of Northwest Louisiana. The program was launched earlier this year as a way to empower individuals who would like to start their own in-home daycare business. Those who qualified and completed the program got everything they needed to run their own child care business – cribs, toys, baby supplies, equipment and even the 60 hours of certification training -- all paid for by Weed and Seed. They also will be provided a business mentor to work with them in their business for six months. Nine participants have completed 60 hours of child development training, while another two completed 120 hours of training and earned the Child Development Assistant Certification. Instructors of the course were from the Northwestern State University Child and Family Network.
